Monday- Today I read about an illegal immigrant who was awarded $200,000 in a lawsuit against Tennessee. The lady’s name is Juana Villegas. The damages in a civil case against the joint government of Nashville and Davidson County in which she alleged that county sheriff’s deputies violated her rights. They shackled her while pregnant, while in labor and during her postpartum recovery. Her attorney, wants to get her a U-visa, that is a special status that can be conferred on victims of crimes who are in the County illegally. The U-visa would allow Villegas to live and work legally in the country for three years. After those three years are over she can renew them and in that time she can adjust her status and become a legal citizen. Only one time has a U-visa has been awarded by a federal judge.
Today I read about a Canadian jet who crashed 5 miles away for the airport killing 12 passengers . Canadian authorities are trying to determine what caused a jetliner to crash near the remote Arctic outpost of Resolute Bay . The jet, operated by Ontario-based carrier First Air, went down about 8 kilometers (5 miles) from the airport on Saturday, First Air Vice President Chris Ferris told reporters Sunday. The dead included the four-member crew and eight of the 11 passengers aboard the Boeing 737-200, he said. Two of the three survivors were flown to Ottawa, more than 2,000 miles away, for further treatment, Ferris said. His voice cracked as he thanked Canadian troops for assisting in rescue efforts .
Today I read an article titled Amount of Available Flu Vaccine Increases. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, this year´s amount of available seasonal flu vaccine will be higher than last year´s. "We are anticipating 166 million or so are likely to be produced this year, compared to 157 million last year," The Associate Director for Adult Immunization said. However, the recommendations for who should get the vaccination are still the same as the year before I don’t want to get no shots but the school says its mandatory I take one so I guess I am being forced.
Wed . – What I read today in the article was about the U.S. and NATO have been quietly talking to National Transitional Council officials for the last several weeks about securing Libya's remaining stockpiles of mustard gas and other weapons material in the event the Gadhafi regime fell, U.S. officials confirm. Topping the list of worries is Libya's stockpile of mustard gas. That the U.S are watching them by satellite. A U.S. official also confirmed U.S. intelligence personnel have been involved in monitoring WMD stockpiles inside Libya. Both officials declined to be identified because of sensitive intelligence matters. Congress is already underscoring the worry. "In particular, we must ensure that Gadhafi's stockpiles of advanced weapons, chemical weapons and explosives don't fall into the wrong hands. CNN reported earlier this year that Libya still has approximately 10 tons of the deadly blister agent left in its arsenal, according to an assessment from the Arms Control Association. Much of the material has been located at the Rabta chemical weapons facility south of Tripoli.

Tuesday-Today I read about a women who is being charged with attempted murder of a baby boy. She allegedly threw a seven-month-old baby boy from a children’s hospital parking garage. The baby was rushed to the trauma center, he’s still in critical condition. The lady’s name is Sonia Hermosillo and she’s 31 years old. A woman walking near the hospital saw the baby and called the police. Investigators later interviewed several witnesses and reviewed a surveillance video from the garage. The image of a license plate on a 2000 Chevy Blazer seen leaving the garage shortly after the incident led police to Hermosillo. Authorities found an empty child seat in Hermosillo's vehicle, according to the statement. Hermosillo's husband reported earlier that both his wife and their seven-month-old son were missing.
Wednesday- Today I read about Casey Anthony. She has to serve a year of probation after being convicted on check fraud charges. Anthony cannot "take advantage" of an administrative error to avoid serving the 2010 sentence, the appeals court ruled. The Fifth District Court of Appeal's ruling comes a day after Florida's attorney general filed a motion in the case. Attorney General Pamela Bondi argued that a clerical error should not prevent Anthony from abiding by a judge's verbal order. Anthony "and her lawyers were well aware that her probationary placement was not to begin until her release from confinement," the appeals court ruling said. Anthony has been in seclusion since her July acquittal on murder charges in the 2008 death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee, and her subsequent release from jail .Anthony was convicted of felony check fraud for stealing a checkbook from a friend and writing five checks for $644.25. A judge sentenced her in that case in January 2010.
Today I read about a U.S. satellite project said Wednesday it has found evidence of additional mass graves in South Kordofan, a day after the Sudanese president called for a unilateral cease-fire in the state. The Satellite Sentinel Project said it has evidence of a total of eight mass graves in the area since June, including two additional ones recently in and around Kadugli. Kadugli is the capital of the border state. The project cited witness accounts and images of what it says are body bags.

Friday- Today I read about a shooting in a campus parking garage. The school was San Jose State University. The incident occurred shortly after 8 p.m. Tuesday on the California campus. Harris said university police responded to a report of a possible shooting and found two people dead on the fifth floor of the garage. A third person was taken to a hospital but died upon arrival, Harris said. Harris said it was not clear whether the deceased were students. No identities have been released pending autopsy results. Harris said a campus alert was issued about one hour after the original call was received. She said police secured a perimeter and that the rest of the campus was not in danger. Police do not believe the incident was a drive-by, gang-related nor robbery-motivated shooting, Harris said. San Jose State is a public university with about 30,000 students.
Monday, today I read about an earthquake that hit Turkey more, than 264 dead and 1,300 injured after Sundays quake. It was difficult to tally the number of injured, Health Minister Recep Akdag said, because many were being treated and released. Turkey's semi-official Anatolian news agency quoted Sahin as saying a total of 970 buildings had collapsed. The military was assisting with search and rescue efforts, Ataly said. Numerous aftershocks -- the largest a magnitude 6.0 -- rattled eastern Turkey, one of the nation's poorest areas. Two tent hospitals were being set up in Ercis on Sunday, and two cargo planes were dispatched from the capital carrying medical teams and aid.
Thursday I read about, Yemeni women defiantly burned their traditional veils Wednesday in protest of President Ali Abdullah Saleh's brutal crackdown on anti-government demonstrations. Thousands of women gathered in the capital, Sanaa, said witnesses. They carried banners that read: "Saleh the butcher is killing women and is proud of it" and "Women have no value in the eyes in Ali Saleh."More than 60 women were attacked in October alone by the government, said protester Ruqaiah Nasser. Government forces are raiding homes and also killing children, she said. The women's protests came after the Yemeni government announced a cease-fire Tuesday. But that did not appear to be holding. At least 10 people died and dozens were injured earlier Tuesday in clashes between Yemeni government security forces in the country's capital and the province of Taiz, medical officials reported.
Friday, today I read about The death toll from the massive earthquake that shook eastern Turkey over the weekend rose to 535 Thursday, up from 471 the day before, but crews have been able to rescue 185 people alive from the rubble In addition, about 2,300 people were injured by the 7.2-magnitude earthquake that struck Sunday, according to the Turkish Disaster and Emergency Relief Agency. A 5.2 earthquake hit about 200 kilometers (125 miles) south of the center of Sunday's quake, near the border with Iraq, the U.S. Geological Survey reported. Britain has pledged emergency tents for more than 5,500 people whose homes were destroyed, Home Secretary Theresa May said during a visit to Turkey Thursday.
